Oliseh says Emmanuel Emenike's retirement was a shock to him

Speaking for the first time about Emmanuel Emenike's sudden retirement from Super Eagles after only 5 years, Coach Sunday Oliseh said he was surprised by the announcement and wasn't informed by the footballer.  

“It was a big shocker for us and a big shocker for me personally. I still don’t accept that he has retired because officially I have not heard anything from him and I don’t think the Federation has heard from him, only what we know is what was posted on social media,” Oliseh told Sports radio Brila FM yesterday

Oliseh said he tried reaching out to Emenike on phone after hearing about his retirement but got no response.
